Ruby

There's no better way to demonstrate your love than by giving a ruby in celebration of a July birthday. Rubies arouse the senses, stir the imagination, and are said to guarantee health, wisdom, wealth and success in love. Ruby is a variety of the gems species corundum. It is harder than any natural gemstone except diamond, which means a ruby is durable enough for everyday wear. Fine-quality ruby is extremely rare, and the color of the gem is most important to its value. The most prized color is a medium or medium dark vivid red or slightly purplish red. If the gem is too light or has too much purple or orange, it will be called a fancy-color sapphire.

Caring for your ruby jewelry is a simple process that will ensure that your gemstone maintains its beautiful sparkle. The best way to keep your gem clean is to bring it to your local Helzberg Diamonds store for a complimentary cleaning and inspection. At home, you can brighten your ruby jewelry by gentling wiping the gemstone with a jewelry polishing cloth and warm water.

SparkleI got this ring a while ago, its very pretty and the ruby has such a nice color to it. It looks just like in the picture, even the saphires sparkle like crazy and it has a good band on it. The only thing is one of my prongs is missing. But the stone still seems very secure so I will keep it!
